Read-alouds with big sister

If your big sister is going to come and visit for a month, what to do with her but read books? (And play games--but more on that another day.)

So far, in addition to assorted picture books, Ruth has read Isaac and Eleanor James and the Giant Peach and A Long Way from Chicago. Today they started the first Artemis Fowl book. She also read Eleanor the surprisingly delightful Stuart's Cape.

She has captured imaginations: this is David's whiteboard at work, his notes for an upcoming article decorated with pictures of James and the lovable insects from James and the Giant Peach.

A Brief Explanation

After spending the year in Sarajevo, Bosnia, our family is in the Auvergne region of France for the summer university term. We won't be travelling much but are settling in for life here in the south of France with our five year old, seven year old, and seventeen year old.
